Abstract

This qualitative study aimed at identifying how obstetrical nurses perceive the humanization of delivery care, as well as evidencing, based on their discourse, the actions they develop during the birth process and factors that complicate the implementation of this care. Study participants were 16 nurses from a maternity in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil. Following the Collective Subject Discourse framework, data were collected by using semistructured interviews that were recorded, transcribed and organized for tabulation and analysis. The results show that, according to these nurses, the humanization process happened as a political strategy for improving care and rescuing normal birth. They believe there is a need to change the paradigm for the process to be concretized. These results also showed that nurses are more integrated with humanized birth as a process, and not as an event.
